PIGGIE: I'm sorry I'm late, Clover- the boss kept me over, and the bus was late and then I stubbed my toe, and- CLOVER (interrupting): Hey hey! Don't worry, Piggie It's all okay, you're here now. (mumbling) For us!?
CLOVER: Mhmm. PIGGIE: Cheese and crackers... This place is ritzy! CLOVER: And now, we're the ritziest of them all! We’re gonna have a great night! I saved you an appetizer -Oh! And the show hasn’t even started yet! (gasps) A show?! Really? (stammers) Who's performing? FROG (scoffs an
d laughs) FROG (clears throat) Thank you, folks. When I was a young frog, my mom's lilypad was just not big enough for all of us- FX: clatter, thumps, bangs Huh? CLOVER (gasping) (Crowd gasps and screams) BROAD COW: It appears... ...there's been a murder. Twenty-five years on the force,
and I’ve never seen so much blood… and his bowtie is missing... The sick freak stripped him naked! PIGGIE (gasps) WAITER (offscreen): But, sir! A murderer couldn't have just... walked in! And why not? Because...
the doors have been locked since the performance started! BROAD COW: Well then... We're not all just witnesses... ...we're all suspects. BROAD COW (offscreen): And until we find some evidence, the scariest part is... ...it could be any one of us. Oh! (laughs) That's, uh... just ketchup. PIGGIE (stammers) BROAD COW: But!
PIGGIE (squeals) BROAD COW: With all of our eyes on the case, we’ll find the lowlife responsible. BROAD COW: And when we find our smoking gun, I'll personally see to it that a no
ose is waiting for him on death row. Everybody, up! Let's find those clues. PIGGIE (shrieks) Where's your knife, boy? You don't like steak? I'm... a vegetarian? -Whoa, whoa, buddy! I think you're missing the real clue over there. (Crowd gasps) BROAD COW: We've got you now! Huh? Huh?! BROAD COW: It's a hoof-print! PIGGIE: Wha!? PIGGIE (screams) CLOVER (gasps) PIGGIE (squeals) Damn! The... trail's gone cold... PIGGIE (exhales) BROAD COW: ...but he can't be far. PIGGIE & CLOVER (exclaiming) Mother
of bovis... I'm ready to declare the prime suspect! Based on all the evidence, PIGGIE (whispered): Go! BROAD COW: It could only be you... ...PIGGIE! ...PIGGIE!
PIGGIE (gasps) BROAD COW: You've been acting shifty all night, PIGGIE (stutters)
-the knife, the hoofprints, I bet you aren't even a vegetarian! (stuttering) N-no- he- uh- BROAD COW: Any last words? (offscreen) A-hem. That frog couldn't pull THIS off- -to save his life. And that, folks, is our smoking gun. I knew you wouldn't let your lov
er take the fall. Ha! You'll never take me alive! Wha-? BROAD COW: No more games. Huh? (gunshot) PIGGIE (sniffling) (Crowd applauses) (Applause grows louder) I knew you'd like the show, but I didn't think you'd get so into it! BROAD COW (clearing throat) We’ve been practicing that script of yours for months! MONTHS! Just to skip act 3 and jump right to the end?! Well... we had to! The audience started to put it together. You always said it’s important to "read the room" in dinner theatre. BROAD
COW: -I... ...did... say... that... Huh. Cheers! So... what'd ya think? Ugh, was the ending too... obvious? Obvious?! (exhales and laughs) Baby, from the start I knew... ...it could only be you.
